Lithuanian president confirms talk with UK’s Keir Starmer after Washington trip

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda will talk to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday after the latter's visit to Washington earlier this week.

“I can confirm that the president is set to have a conversation with Starmer on Sunday morning,” presidential adviser Frederikas Jansonas told BNS on Friday.

The British prime minister earlier confirmed he would be holding a meeting on Sunday to promote action on Ukraine and security, and before that he would talk to other Baltic leaders.

Later, he is due to receive Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The leaders of France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, and Turkey, as well as the leaders of NATO and the EU have been invited to attend the meeting on Sunday.

Having returned from Washington, where he held talks with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday, Starmer has also invited the leaders of the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Romania to the Sunday meeting.

According to Starmer’s office, the summit will continue the line of talks held earlier this month in Paris by French President Emmanuel Macron and will focus on strengthening Ukraine’s position, including military support for Kyiv and increased economic pressure on Russia.
